When Are Patch 7.3.5 and Allied Race Release Dates? (Speculation) - Mon, 08 Jan 2018 00:47:10 -0600There's been a lot of speculation surrounding Patch 7.3.5's release date, especially with datamined, but not testable, Allied Races. In this article, we'll analyze datamined evidence and speculate on when we think 7.3.5 and Allied Races will be playable.

We have dedicated content hubs for both Patch 7.3.5 and Allied Races if you'd like to learn more about these topics!

Synthesizing Legendaries in 7.3.5 Prep - BoA Tokens, Acquiring Wakening Essence - Sun, 07 Jan 2018 18:25:38 -0600In the last PTR Build, we discovered that players will be able to buy Purified Titan Essence using Wakening Essences. We've now confirmed that you are able to receive a BoA Legendary Token from the Purified Titan Essence and confirmed a way for newer characters to get the A Titanic Effort quest, so players can start preparing for 7.3.5 by collecting Wakening Essences.

Out of respect for the family, details are not being shared at the current time and they ask rumors not be spread.

Nightborne Allied Race Now Requires Insurrection Achievement - Sat, 06 Jan 2018 17:29:32 -0600In yesterday's update to the 7.3.5 PTR, the requirements to unlock the Nightborne Allied Race have been updated and now require the completion of the Insurrection quest chain and not just the main Good Suramaritan story.

We've updated our Attunement Tracker to include this change. You can find out if you're eligible to unlock the Nightborne and other Allied Races, when they release, using our Attunement Tracker.

Retiring Artifact Weapons Cutscene (Spoilers) - Fri, 05 Jan 2018 23:20:17 -0600Artifact weapons are getting retired closer to the end of Legion, and in this datamined cutscene, we have an early look at the fate of our weapons. Previously we've posted the voiceover lines and cutscene music, and today we have our first look at the actual cutscene.

Do note that this cutscene is incomplete--it is missing encrypted voice over lines, and any/all details are subject to change before 7.3.5 goes live. Also, spoiler warning.

As announced in the last show, Panser is stepping down to focus on content efforts outside of Twitch in 2018. Annie is a full-time Twitch streamer who loves collecting achievements and mounts in WoW. Check out her recent BlizzCon 2017 Interview on Class Design and give her a warm welcome!

This build also lets players check if they have completed all the required achievements in-game, to unlock the related Allied Races. Head to the Orgrimmar or Stormwind Embassy and inside, you will find two banners, one for each faction's Allied Race.

To recapitulate, the Journal is the Dream Journal from Ogmot the Mad, a rare NPC located at the Wound in the World. Defeating him drops the readable item, which is composed of ten pages telling about the recent dreams of the ogre.

In the tabs below you can check all the pages from the Journal, both old and new texts. Learn more about the upcoming patch on our Patch 7.3.5 Content Hub.

Allied Race Intro and Unlock Scenario Cutscenes (Spoilers) - Wed, 03 Jan 2018 18:02:24 -0600Each Allied Race has a special intro cutscene when a character is created, as well as special cutscenes to further the story in their unique recruitment scenario. Earlier in the 7.3.5 PTR cycle, we datamined the Allied Race story through broadcast text and audio voice-over files. Now we have the cutscenes for each Allied Race Intro as well as cutscenes from the Nightborne and Lightforged unlock scenarios.

New Mythic+ Records Set Over the Last Week - Wed, 03 Jan 2018 16:03:33 -0600Antorus, the Burning Throne hasn't been out that long, but our first week of Sanguine, Volcanic, Fortified has now passed and many players were trying to push as high of a keystone as possible. These affixes are considered the easiest set to deal with and coupled with the greatly increased item levels, trinkets and tier bonuses from Antorus, several records have been smashed.

New Records

Let's take a look at some of the new records! Thanks to Raider.io for providing the data.

Allied Race Tabard Model Preview - Tue, 02 Jan 2018 19:15:22 -0600As part of the Allied Race updates on the 7.3.5 PTR, Blizzard has added matching tabards for each Heritage Armor set. While the source of these tabards is unknown, you can preview them in our PTR Dressing Room on each Allied Race!

These tabards match the Heritage Armor sets perfectly. The Heritage Sets are earned by leveling to 110 on an Allied Race without any leveling boosts.

Legion Attunement Tracker Updated for Allied Race Unlock Requirements - Mon, 01 Jan 2018 18:07:35 -0600In Patch 7.3.5, the Allied Races will add many new requirements in order to unlock the ability to create one, so we've updated the Legion Attunement Tool with some additional things to track per character! Want to know what you need to create your first Void Elf or Nightborne when they're released? The Attunement tool can help!

Note that these Allied Race requirements are currently on the PTR and are subject to change.

Lightforged Draenei Allied Race Transmog Suggestions - Mon, 01 Jan 2018 11:43:45 -0600The LIghtforged Draenei Allied Race is a new Battle for Azeroth feature, but you can start planning your Lightforged's appearance now in Wowhead's Dressing Room. With so much Allied Race data in the 7.3.5 PTR, including a working Dressing Room for character customization, we've put together some transmog suggestions for Lightforged Draenei!

Most of our transmog suggestions reflect their proximity with the Light, with lots of yellow and orange shades.

It's time once again for Azeroth to celebrate New Year's Eve with a nice Filled Festive Mug and fireworks--catch them at the top of the hour in major cities and Booty Bay starting at 6pm PST on December 31st, but try not to drunkenly PvP in Booty Bay since the guards are asleep.

Don't forget to /dance back at the Revelers to get Celebrate Good Times!, which increases all stats by 10% for 30 minutes.
